Sitting Crosslegged.

Men generally cross their legs when
there is but little pressure on their
minds. You will never find a man
actually engaged in business with his
legs crossed. The limbs at those times
are straighter than at any other, be-
cause the mind and legs work togeth-
er. A man engaged in auditing ac-
counts will never cross his legs; neither
will man who is writing an article,
or who is employed in any manner
where his brains are actively engaged
When at work in a sitting posture his
limbs naturally extend to the floor in a
perfectly straight line. A man may
cross his legs if he is sitting in an office
chair discussing some business propo-
sition with another man, but the in
slant he really becomes in earnest and
perceives something to be gained his
limbs uncross quick. as a flash, he
bends forward toward his neighbor
and begins TO use his hands. y

LYRICS OF BOSTON CULTURE.

A husband once seized large knife
And attempted to carve up his kwife,
But the neighbors ran in,
In the midst of the din,
And succeeded in saving her klife.

Whose dresses were costly and flgn.
Was wooed by youth,
But she doubted his truth,
And to give him her hand did declign.

the lucky turn in Con. Virginia, he

due credit for putting him in the way

The illness preceding death was Of short
duration, not alarming in its first stages but
rapidly assuming a fatal character, and
after briei period OF Inconsistencies, in
the presence oil her s0rrowing family, her
spirit passed into Rest without pain or
struggle. For more than twenty years she
had been in feeble health, and at times was

was borne with Christian meckness, gentle

devoted herself TO the loving service of her

had proved herself faithful follower OF
Christ by the graces and excellences that
adorned her character and life.
While many relatives and friends mourn
the death of this estimable Christian lady,
the affection and the loss are most painfully
felt by the immediate family. Dutiful in
all flial offices TO the aged mother, most af-
